Jaromir Jagr‘s fifth goal of the 2013-14 season served as the 1,700th regular season point of his NHL career, making him the eighth player in league history to cross that barrier. He sits eighth all-time in points behind his teammate Mario Lemieux (1,723) with plenty of time to add to his totals against the Nashville Predators on Sunday.

Fittingly, the goal was a deft showing of power and skill. It’s also fitting that he solidified his place as his team’s top point producer (in this case, the New Jersey Devils, with 12 points in 17 games*):

Update: Jagr also assisted on Travis Zajac‘s 100th career goal to give him 1,701 career points and 13 in 2013-14.

That goal also leaves him 14 short of another milestone: the 700-goal club.

He can jump quite a few spots in the all-time goal-scoring category, depending upon how he finishes this season:

In five years you’ll see number 68 hanging in the rafters of Consol Energy Center soon enough which something that I will not have any problems with since I saw the tail end of Jagr in Pittsburgh but if your an Est 2009 fan you’ll have an issue

Jagrs performance vs New Jersey in games 6 & 7 goes down as one of the greatest playoff performances in Pens and NHL history. His play in game 6 changed the whole momentum in that series. Jagrs relationship with us went sour once he cut off the mullet. Like I said I won’t bother me one bit.

If we take the average of the two years before his KHL stint and the two years after his average is .319 goals per game.

If we use that rate and limit him to only playing in 75% of the NHL games during those three years (in case of injuries), it could be argued that he would have ended up with something around 58 more goals. Meaning he might have been 3rd all time at this point.
